Abstract
Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of local and global Lagrangians for ordinary differential equations of arbitrary order are described in terms of the geometry of higher-order tangent bundles. The results are applied to the study of gauge invariant differential equations and the second-order differential equation defined by the (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills Lagrangian with the Chern-Simons term is discussed.
